I'll Drink to This Place Maltby Lakes, West Haven, New Haven, & Orange January 2021 All Regional Water Authority (RWA) properties require a purchased permit to access. In case you're curious, Maltby Lakes was my very first RWA hike, 14+ years after I began this website. The RWA properties have always been this … [Read more...]
New Haven Holocaust Memorial
First, Oldest, Most Sobering New Haven Holocaust Memorial This isn't a typical CTMQ page in that a) it contains no puns or satirical quips, b) I didn't write most of it, and c) the photography is phenomenal. Okay, c) above is not true and it could be categorized as a satirical quip. I guess I simply can't … [Read more...]
Polly & Joan’s Cordial Company (Closed)
Cordially Closed Polly & Jean Cordials, Wallingford I apologize to Polly & Jean. I apologize for never writing a page about your cold-soaked cordials when you were still in the business of cold-soaking fruit into cordials. Now, I'm not pretending that my doing so would have helped the business at all. I'm merely … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to North Branford
Everything North Branford I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” North Branford CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]
North Branford Land Conservation Trust
North Branford Land Conservation Trust Trails I feel kind of bad for North Branford. The local water concern owns a third of the land in town and only has trails on a very small parcel of that land. That doesn't leave much for a local land trust, but their website does state in 2020 that they do plan on adding … [Read more...]
North Branford’s Town Trails
North Branford's Town Trails North Branford is a weird town. I don't mean that the people there are weird. They may be, I don't know. But the town itself... Back in the day Lake Gaillard was created to provide water to the area and as a result, The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority owns about a … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Guilford
Everything Guilford I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Guilford CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Guilford’s Town Trails
Guilford's Town Trails Guilford isn't a large town, but it does have a lot of trailed properties. It's another one of our towns where it seems like the town owned land bleeds into state owned land which surrounds land trust land. This used to bother me from a list-making perspective, but now I've come to really … [Read more...]
Guilford Land Conservation Trust
Guilford Land Conservation Trust Trails You know you have some good stuff as a land trust when the CFPA includes one of your properties in their Blue Trails Challenge list. Such is the case with the GLCT's Westwoods property. While that is certainly the land trusts - and arguably Guilford's - crown jewel, there's a … [Read more...]
Books by the Falls
The Falls of Man Books by the Falls, Derby Nobody reads books anymore. Personally, I used to read maybe 30-35 books a year, but thanks to 2020 being the most insane timeline, I find myself staring at screens following the reality show our government has become... with a half finished book by my side on too many … [Read more...]
